New $98M solar farm pitched in Louisiana as utilities look to buy more renewable power - GoHaynesvilleShale.com2024-03-28T19:59:30Zhttps://gohaynesvilleshale.com/forum/topics/new-98m-solar-farm-pitched-in-louisiana-as-utilities-look-to-buy?commentId=2117179%3AComment%3A3978112&x=1&feed=yes&xn_auth=noA number of LA electric utili…tag:gohaynesvilleshale.com,2021-03-17:2117179:Comment:39781122021-03-17T13:22:27.996ZSkip Peel - Mineral Consultanthttps://gohaynesvilleshale.com/profile/ilandman
<p>A number of LA electric utilities currently have requests for solar capacity however the capacity is modest. Louisiana may actually be better suited for offshore wind and thermal. If the state gets serious about clean energy, a couple of peaker NG plants may provide all the back up generation capacity the state needs for the next thirty or so years. That would retire all coal fired capacity on an expedited timeline and provide plenty of time to add ever increasing efficiency and lower…</p>

<p>The power generation industry has always looked for cheaper ways to produce energy. In our area, NG was king until it cost too much and then coal became the primary fuel. Now, solar and wind is cheaper and NG is feeling the sting of keeping up or falling out of the game. Solar is going to get cheaper and it's just a matter of time before it's common. </p>
